3 articles · Updated · ZDNet · Jun 4

Summary

  • $390 buys Samsung’s 990 Pro 2TB SSD on Amazon, down from $640 in an early Prime Day deal highlighted as the standout among several discounted capacities.
  • 7,450 MB/s read and 6,900 MB/s write speeds make the PCIe 4.0 drive attractive for AAA game loads and large file transfers, while improved efficiency cuts power draw versus the 980 Pro.
  • 30% off the 4TB model and a $250 price for the 1TB version broaden the sale, while the 2TB heatsink variant is listed at $483, or 28% off.
  • AES-256 hardware encryption and a nickel-coated controller add security and thermal control as SSD bargains remain relatively scarce amid broader economic pressure on storage pricing.
  • No end date was given for the promotion, leaving the $390 offer available until it sells out, expires, or potentially runs through Prime Day.
